Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 10:00 AM AKDT, 9 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 300 PM ADT WED SEP 27 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING TO A SECOND LOW JUST SOUTH OF ADAK. A STRONG 150 KT JET IS WRAPPED AROUND THE SOUTH END OF THIS TROUGH. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A DECENT MOISTURE FEED ALONG THE JET HEADING TOWARD THE NORTH GULF COAST. THIS IS THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON YAGI. A FRONTAL WAVE IS EVIDENT IN THE SATELLITE ALONG WITH THE LOW ALREADY IN PLACE NEAR SAND POINT. THE FRONTAL WAVE AND THE SAND POINT LOW ARE EXPECTED TO MERGE AND MOVE INTO WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND LATE TONIGHT. THE PARENT SURFACE LOW WHICH IS THE REMNANTS OF YAGI WILL CONTINUE MOVING TO THE EAST REMAINING SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AS IT WEAKENS. THIS LOW SHOULD BE JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE REMAINS OF THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND LOW DISSIPATING TO A WEAK TROUGH. OVER THE EASTERN MAINLAND CURRENT CONDITIONS ARE THE RESULT OF THE MOISTURE REMAINING IN THE AREA FROM THE LOW THAT MOVED INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA YESTERDAY AND THE ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PUSHING INTO THE CANADIAN YUKON WITH WEAK RIDGING BEHIND THIS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF DRIER CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH AND THE SURFACE MOISTURE NOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC RAPIDLY MOVING OVER KODIAK WILL MOVE INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE REGION TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. FOR WESTERN ALASKA THE DOMINANT UPPER LOW OVER THE BERING STRAIT WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE CLOUDS AND MOISTURE INTO WESTERN ALASKA. WHILE THE FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST FROM THE WEST A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL NOSE INTO THE NUNIVAK ISLAND AREA. WEAK LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION INTO THE DELTA SHOULD RESULT IN KEEPING THE CLOUDS A BIT HIGHER AND INHIBIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG LIMITING THE FOG TO LOW LYING INLAND AREAS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE OF SIGNIFICANCE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE AT THIS TIME IS STRONGER WIND AVER THE ALEUTIANS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. IN THE LONGER TERM THE TROUGH AND LOW IN THE GULF AND OVER THE MAINLAND WILL MOVE EAST AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC INTO THE BERING SEA FRIDAY. THIS RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE MAINLAND LATE FRIDAY AS A LARGE DEEP LOW MOVES INTO THE WESTERN BERING SEA.
